Roumanian Parliament Votes Against Suspension of Cuza for Attack on Jewish Deputy

December 2, 1932

Bucharest (Dec. 1)

Yesterday’s session of the Roumanian Parliament, by a vote of 126 to 41, disapproved the suspension of George Cuza, son of the anti-Semitic leader, for his attack upon the Jewish Deputy Mishu Weisman.

Instead of apologizing for his attack, Cuza reiterated his arraignment of the Jews. He attacked Deputy Weisman as a leader of Zionism, whose goal is not the rehabilitation of a Jewish national homeland, but Jewish world domination, Cuza asserted.

The Jewish deputies, Josef Fischer, Weiss and Rosenberg, as well as a non-Jewish deputy, Emil Soaar, and others sharply protested against the vituperation of the Jews. Deputy Weisman pointed to the fact that many Roumanian statesmen have endorsed the Balfour Declaration, mentioning the names of Jonescu, Duca, Vaida Voevod, Titulescu, and the present Premier, Juliu

Maniu. He pointed to the contributions to the political life of Roumania by Roumanian Jews in America during the war as is substantiated by the former Roumanian Minister to Washington, Angelescu, he said.

Chief Rabbi Niemirower strongly protested in the Senate against the insults to the Jewish religion.
